No secret the Saints need more talent on Defense. Hopefully they can agree to terms with J. Bushrod and not have to burn a high draft pick on OT. Most would argue the need to address the front 7 on Defense with the first pick. I am in the camp to sure up the safety position with the first pick in the draft. Then take best player available at NT, CB, OLB, with next three picks. The wild card will be if the Saints trade Chris Ivory and are interested in trading back in round 1. If no trade partner available in round one. I would like to see the best Safety or OT (pending Bushrod) taken with the 15<SUP>th</SUP> pick. With the switch to a 3-4, I can live with taken the best NT at pick 15.
